The author says that evil is similar in nature to the disease, although this is more complex and elusive to our understanding. Its genesis reveals many pathological factors; especially psychopathological, in character, whose essence, medicine and psychology have already studied. Understanding the essence and genesis of evil generally uses information from biology, medicine and psychology. Only a philosophical reflection is clearly insufficient.

On the base of the theory of Ponerology, psychopathy (“essential psychopathy” according Lobacweski) is located.

Surely many of you have heard about this personality disorder, since it’ very fashionable “by chance”. Psychopathy is generally characterized by the uncontrolled impulsivity and inability to feel emotion and empathy of a human being. From that lack of control and inability is generated the next psychological/behavioral profile :

B) Genetic:when the personmanifestsantisocialand deviant behaviorat an early age(childhood),without having sufferedanybrain injurydirectlyabove, and living inanormal socialenvironment.Ie, the person is bornwiththisproblem because it’sgeneticallyoriginated

We must alwaysremember that theenvironment in whichdevelops and livesa personis essentialabout is/her behavior, thinking andpersonal resources.

According to the author, there are adeforming tendenciesof realitythat helpEviltriumphsamong us:

1. Emotional reactions: often little appropriate

2. Moralizing interpretation: we make moral judgments, as if our thinking were the best

3. Interpretation corrective christic: its richer psychological worldview, normal people often trivialize glaring errors and project their own understanding of the work of someone who lacks such skills

4. Reflection of self-protection: we identify quickly as a threat to others and apply a moral judgment

5. Normal Psychological Types

6. Lack of universality: we live our lives with only emotional thinking and the pursuit of happiness, but these tools are insufficient when we’re dealing with psychopathology

7. Egotism and natural worldview: some people with a highly developed natural vision of psychological, social and moral aspects tend to overvalue their own worldview, seeing it as an objective basis for judging others. While this is the least pernicious form of egotism, based on humanistic principles, the refusal to admit the possibility of error can have an oppressive effect on contractionary measures against macrosocial disease.

But, Ialways end upwondering: what is the reality?

LobacweskiexplainsHisterodialcycle of humansociety:

The keyis in the “pursuit of happiness” of the human being from thebeginning of time. Humansbegan toexploit animalsand their environment,and then totheir human companions.Theywerethe seeds of sufferingand inequality, so good timesbecamebad.The issueis that knowledgelearnedin bad timesleads to the creationof good timesagain,and the cycleis repeated.

When timesare good,the perceptionof truth, understanding what ahealthyhuman personalityand its dynamics, ceases to be the highest priority, thenit ceases tobe understood andfinally disappears.So thesearch for truthis considered apointlessactivityfor the same reasonthat they are “good times”. A deep understandingcan become “old fashioned” or even can be neglected.

This iswhat is happening, and that’s verydangerous.

In the genesisof Evilthe most important causeis the interaction oftwohuman factors:

With very few exceptionsthrough theages, discussions of moralphilosophy(the studyof right conduct) have failed tosystematically investigatethe origin, natureand the courseof evilin a manner free of supernaturalimaginings.Evilwasoften regardedas something tobe sufferedandenduredrather thansomething that could beunderstood andeliminated byrational measures.

The author talks about the “happy times” and “unhappy times” that are alternated in societies, and healso talks about theterm “pathocracy” which means “A system of government created bya smallpathologicalminoritywhotake overa society ofnormal people“.

Learned helplessnessis justa psychological phenomenon which presents the following behavior:

Passive behaviorin situations, environments, or adversecircumstances in life although there are realopportunities to changethesesituations or problems; avoiding unpleasantcircumstances , orobtainingpositive rewards. Learned helplessnesstranslates intoan absolutelyevasivebehavior againstcomplications, because the subject fleesproblems,evade,interposinga shield of excuses, which have oftenvictimnature.

Thispsychological phenomenoncan be easilyinduced, or simplycaused bystressful and negative situationsfor a long time.

SELIGMAN, in 1967, madethe “Theory of learned helplessness” from the studyin dogs, the effects of a series of INEVITABLEelectricshocks, with no possibilityof escape, and thenanother seriesof AVOIDABLEelectricalshocks, with the possibility ofescape.The result?Dogsfailedto learn toescapeand avoidshocks. The authorshowed thatthe reason forthis phenomenonwas dueto uncontrollabilityof the originalshocksusing an experimentaldesign called“triadic design”, based on 2stages. This designallows isolating theeffects ofuncontrollable consequencesof the effects ofcontrollability, this is precisely thetrick.

In the experimentthere are 3groups of subjects:

a. Escapable

b. Inescapable

c. Control

The phasesare:

1.Pretreatment:theescapablegroup is exposedtoaversive consequencesthat can be controlledby the subjects(contingent reinforcement). TheInescapablegroup isexposed to the sameaversive consequencesbut has nopossibilityto control(non-contingent reinforcement). Controlgroupundergoesthis phase.

C) Emotional*:a series of characteristicbehavioral andphysiological disorders,ina stateof anxiety and fearfollowed by depression, occur when the consequencesinthe pre–treatment are sufficientlyaversive.

The emotional deficit is the most serious because it’s the most harmful in the psyche, emotional integrity is paramount in good mental health.

There are other effects following exposure to uncontrollable shocks worth mentioning here:

– Reduction of aggressiveness and competitiveness

– Conditioning of high levels of fear neutral stimuli rigged to shock

– Increased stress symptoms (for example: ulcers)

– Changes in the levels of cortisol and neurotransmitters like norepinephrine

In short, learned helplessness is a person experiencing the consequences and his/her behavior are independent, ie, uncontrollable , so he/she forms an expectation that there will be no contingency response-consequence in the future.

When a person perceives that the situations are uncontrollable, makes a causal attribution, ie the reason for this uncontrollability. The causal attribution has 3 areas:

1. Internal-External: causes of self or circumstances. If the cause is attributed to self, self-esteem is destroyed.

3. Global-Specific: General causes in different situations, or a particular situation.

In addition helplessness can be:

– Universal: a person who believes that their responses are not contingent with the desired effect and that no other subject has these responses, ie, believes the solution is simply “impossible”. This person attributes the cause to external, specific and unstable factors. The helplessness does not generalize.

– Personal: a person who believes he has the answers but others have them, ie, believes that “can not”. The person attributes the cause to internal, stable and global factors. The helplessness is chronic and widespread.

The theory of learned helplessness has been proposed as an explanatory model of human depression because the symptoms can be induced by treatment with helplessness.

NOT ALL IS LOST…

The good news is that learned helplessness can be overridden. This is done by first submitting the subject to a successful escape learning with which he/she can escape a shock through an escape response. This equates to immunize against defenseless.

The learned helplessness model postulates that emotion and motivation are shaped by the environment, so directly affects education. The cause of learned helplessness are past experiences, so it is important the infant stage of a person, because that is what will set your mind. If a child in his/her environment, others do not stop tell him/her he/she is worthless, silly and they assault him/her, that’s how he/she will feel to the world and in the future. However, if the others support the child, and they say him/her that he/she is valuable, and he/she is good and can do everything he/she porposes successfully , this child will be brave, motivated, optimistic and confident. It’s simple.

The attitude of a child or an adult to his own helplessness or ability domain is based on child development. For learning domain, is essential that the mother act so responsive, because the absence of the mother, deprivation and unresponsive stimulate maternal behavior contribute to the learning of uncontrollability.

Finally, if you have ever felt that way, or you feel that way now, you should know that there is a SOLUTION. You are not alone! Stop thinking so, and stop believing that you are a victim, because in reality you are a human being with rights, and secondly, you’re a survivor.

Two kids sleeping on the floor of the street. It’s an extreme example of the family neglect

Can thefamily neglectdestroy psychologically a person?

What is the behaviorof a personpsychologicallydestroyed?

According to astudy conductedin 2002at the University ofMálaga (Spain) on The psychologicalimpact of familyneglectin a group ofchildren, family neglect,completelyparalyzes anddelaysthe psycheof children.

The mind of achild is verytender, soft, premature.The mind of achild is verymalleable, and what thecast,in this world, is his environment.His closestand most influentialenvironment is thefamily.What a childlives intheir home is hispersonalitymold. Thehome environmentis the recipient ofthe human psychematuring.

A childalwaysneeds someone toteachhim,someone who isat his side,not only toprotect himfromeverything, becauseoverprotectisbad too, but to be heard.Humans aresocial beings, ie, they needsocial relationstodevelop and live. Ifa small humanis deprivedofthat, he can’t develop, and he will bedeficient inmany respects.

What’s “violence”? The violence is the kind of human interaction that occurs in behaviors or situations which deliberately, learned or imitated, causes a sever physical, sexual, verbal or psychological harm, subjecting to a person, or to a community; or affect so much that limit their present or future potentials.

For there to be “violence”, there must be DAMAGE, HURT, INJURY, HARM, both physical and psychological: on the body, and on the mind, from one person to other person.

What’s the origin of the violence in human society? The family. Because the family is the suprem teacher agent.The family prepares us to face the world and relate to others. Within the family, the most important educational figure is: the mother (Read the article LOVE. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOVE. )In the familyatmosphereshould be good. So… Of course, the relationshipwith parentsshould be goodtoo.

Besides the family, school is important. At school we interact with other people and we learn a lot of knowledge which take us out of ignorance, and therefore, of primitivism.

Therefore, the school should be a normal, calm and positive experience to can learn to build peaceful and healthy personal relationships while developing the intelect by general knowledge. For this reason, is remarkable the damage, such as distrust and fear, on which relationships are built, because that’s in the origin of group relation problems, ie antisocial behavior.

When you come into the world, as a social human being who you are, psychologically absorb models or templates of interpersonal relationship. So if the models are peaceful and positive, you will be a peaceful and positive person in the society. If the models are agressive, violent and negative, you will be a violent and negative person. It’s simple!

What’s the difference between a positive social model and a negative social model? The positive social model is based on Love. The negative social model is based on Fear. Love is courage and respect. Fear is hate and destruction. With fear nothing is worth. With fear nothing is valuable. With fear there is no future. With fear there is an apocalypse. Fear is a big factory of primitivism, negative energy of: danger, hostility, selfishness, resentment and… Unreal!

Violent people are full of fear. They are full of all that, god! And all that is the worst ignorance.

But… It’s very hard to learn something they didn’t teach you, on Earth and on a physical body, dude!

Violence is a social phenomenon, and it’s learned ‘from’ and ‘in’ society (family, school) and applied to the society.

We can’t blame the genes, because genes are activated and developed acording to the physical and social environment in which a person develops (this is what is called “epigenetics”).

Yes… There are cases in which people are born evil by nature, but they are, fortunately, rare and extreme cases.

Advances in psychiatric epidemology, in psychological assesment and criminology have shown the inadequacy of the concept of RISK to predpredict the occurence of future violence, and proposed new methods of prediction of violence based on the assesment of risk factors that anticipate violent behavior.

Therefore dangerousnessidentification has replaced forrisk assessment, because, unlikethe dangerousness, the risk of violenceisSPECIFIC andVARIABLE, allowing to take graduate and re-evaluated decisions for the future prognosis of violence.So, this is, the dangerousnesswas static, andrisk assessmentisflexible.

Throughthese procedures, what to do tomake an assessment ofrisk of violence? We must to dopersonal interviews,psychological andmedical evaluations, andreview ofsocial and health recordsandobtainingcollateral information.

How you see,in society,theissue of violenceconcern people, repelled andwant to solve, therefore, havedeveloped all thescientific toolsexplained here. This is verygood.

But the human mindis a computer,and computers areprogrammable… In fact, it is programmablegenerationally, as their large databaseis DNA. Thisdatabaseis storingall the informationof theentire lives, feelings and experiencesof all familymembers, being present in alldescendantslives(later). Inevery humanlife, abrain respondsto a program.The configuration of theprogram depends onthe experiences thatthe personlives. Theexperiences activateand / ordeactivategenes.Thesegenescan beboth good and bad.The humanbeing is alwayssubjectedto a mentalprogram, whichof courseis connected to his body.Mentalprogram beginsto take shapefrom conceptionof the person.Frombirthcontinuesconfiguratingandis consolidating, until it reachesadolescence,the crisis stagewhere the programmayundergo major changes, and thencontinuesinto adulthood, where experiencescan shapemoreprogramming , although it is moredifficult if the personismentally strong. Mentalprogram determines thebehavior of people, so iftheir experiencesin societyare negative, the person will be negative.If your parentsmistreat you, you will mistreat, because yourparents takethesegenesand therefore, mistreating you theyactivate them,programming you just like that.

We learn, and we remember. What you learn, is what you will do in your life. And this lessons, good or bad, activate a lot of your genes, good or bad too. It’s like remembering.

In human life, rationally, many times we wonder “why is love so important”.

Well, scientifically, the answer is very sweet and it won’t leave you indifferent:

Neuroscientists advances say the bond between a mother and her baby is a complex network of neural, hormonal, psychological and social factors.

According the spanish neonatologist Adolfo Gomez Papí says, at birth we only have 25% of the brain size developed. The other 75% of the size develops over the next 2 or 3 years. This means the basic brain structures are formed in 3 years, on human life.

Of course, nutrition and genes influence this neuronal formation, but especially: the bond with mother (or primary caregiver).

The spanish psychiatrist Enrique García Bernardo says the baby receives important emotional information from his/her mother, which is Love (caresses, words, smiles, songs…). The mother empathizes with her son/daughter. Imagine a sweet mother calming her baby in her valuable arms.

Love is understanding. Love is comforting. Love is smiling and laughing in front of life. Only with love a human can be healthy, ie developed. Because without mother’s love , children’s brains can’t make neuronal connections.

There is an emotional exchange between the right cerebral hemisphere of mother and son/daughter, as says Allan Schore from Departament of Psychiatry of University of California, LA, USA, and this is because in children predominates right cerebral hemisphere, which governs emotions.

So this is the natural way: emotions.

Additionally, in the first year of human life, a neuronal prunning happens, because the brain wants to economy its resources and prunes the least used neuronal connections. So if the attachment to the mother was safe, its connection will continue, but if not, it won’t.

Let’s think: if mother gives love, there are emotions. If there are emotions is born attachment. From attachment goes security to face the world, and interact with others. This is: “They comfort me when I’m wrong, maybe I don’t have to fear the world”.

2 keys: comfort and welfare.

Children who lived an insecure attachment to their mother, based on negligence and abuse, have more risk of suffer depression, anxiety or personality disorders on their adulthood.

That’s related to the ability of handing stress in life. Michael Meanes, psychiatrist of Montreal, Canadá, made an experiment whose result was that persons who had good maternal care, secreted less cortisol (stress hormone), ie they have less stress reactivity.

Also it have studied the influence of the maternal bond in the hippocampus, on 2012 at University of Washington, San Luis, USA, and the result was that children who received an adequate support from their mother had 9,2% greater hippocampus than children who had not.

Think that the first person with whom we interact is our mother. This is why she is a model, a general template or base of interpersonal relationship. The relationship we had with our mother will condition subconsciuosly in our relationship with the world and others.

Therefore the mother is the symbol of love, and love was the symbol of sex: making love = making a baby. At present, sex doesn’t represent love anymore because of the masive sexualization campaign to the human population.

All that is created, all that born comes from emotions, and destruction is the lack of them. To feel, we need a brain developed into that.

The spirit is related to the emotional capacity, so deny love or mistreat a child means to kill his inocent spirit, his divinity. This child can’t be aware, can’t feel adequately, and can’t be ‘good’ or ‘normal’ person. He/she can’t fit to the world. He/she is a misfit.

Giving love to a child means paying attention to him/her, and for that TIME is required. This world consumes our time… This ‘world’ feeds on that.

I remember my mother playing with me, listening to me, comforting me… She always explained me the ‘why’ of everything. She was always smiling to me. She was fascinated by my drawings and all I was doing or learning.
